What You Should Know Before Buying an iPhone

Gizmodo has an article titled “Wait! Ten Things You Should Know Before You Buy an iPhone” that discuss the caveats of owning an iPhone. So what are these ten things?
1. Not all iPod Accessories and headphones will work with the iPhone
2. AT&T is Evil
3. No video recording or MMS
4. No Instant Messaging
5. Not for business use
6. It’s not a full iPod Replacement, and it has no games
7. It’s not a smartphone
8. The data connection is slow
9. There’s no GPS
10. There are no custom ringtones
Among all these things to consider, the ones that I’m concerned with are “No instant messaging” and “it’s not a smartphone”. I’m a big instant messager. I use it to keep in touch with a lot of people so this one is really important to me. As for the smart phone, there’s no to-do list on the iPhone. It’s kinda a smartphone but not quite.
Anyway I’ll reserve final judgement until I get my hands on one.
